Several Soviet guards immediately ran to stop those workers, Yan Xishan saw that he quickly looked at Zhou Guansheng, Zhou Guansheng's eyes moved left and right, Yan Xishan immediately knew in his heart, only to see that after a while, those workers were brought over, Malenkov asked with a smile: "Hello, I see that several people are not Chinese, I don't know which country you are comrades?" Why do you run when you see us? Has someone explained anything? How long have you been here? ”

One of the white men nodded and said, "Hello sir, we are workers in this steel factory, I am a worker from the United States, you can call me Teplan." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info I've only been here for more than a year. We don't want to come here because we are afraid that you will arrange a job for me, you know, we are a monthly salary system, whether we do it or not, you have to give money, so if you can do it, I naturally don't want to do it. ”

Malenkov said happily to Zhou Guansheng: "It's actually an American." I don't know why we have American comrades in our Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant? ”

Saying that, Malenkov asked Teplon again: "I don't know why you came?" ”

The white man laughed, "Half for the money, and the other half, we've fallen in love with the work here and this ancient country." ”

Malenkov nodded, and looked at Zhou Guansheng again.

Zhou Guansheng smiled slightly and asked the other two workers, "Where are you all from?" ”

One of the workers took off his hat, took a small hat out of his pocket and said, "I'm from Germany, I'm Jewish." ”

Another worker smiled and said, "I'm from the Czech Republic, I'm Czech." ”

Malenkov's doubts were even greater, and he originally thought that the Chinese Red Party might have a leg with the United States, but now there are still Germans... Or German Jews? There were even the Czechs who had died in the country, and Malenkov had no idea what the structure of the workers in this steel plant was.

Zhou Guansheng looked at Yan Xishan, Yan Xishan nodded and said, "Comrade Malenkov, let me explain, we Chinese workers are relatively few, especially these skilled workers in heavy industry, there are even fewer pitiful, so since I was in charge of Shanxi, I have been vigorously recruiting workers and technicians from abroad, we have not only Americans, Germans, but also French, British, and even you Soviets, we also have overseas Chinese from all over Nanyang, and the real local workers are actually less than half. ”

Malenkov exclaimed in disbelief, "This is impossible, in this case, isn't it a small League of Nations here?" People from so many countries, if nothing else, how do you solve this language aspect? ”

Yan Xishan immediately put on a crying face and said, "Bosom friend!" Comrade Malenkov, what you said is also something that I have been worrying about, people from so many countries, where to manage it, and our management personnel are not enough, these skilled workers rely on their own technology, and often have trouble with us, sometimes a thing is broken and they have to repair it, just looking for a translator is exhausted, you look at what he just said, how annoying! However, there are disadvantages and advantages, and their technology is also good, and they have helped us build a lot of heavy industrial factories. But fortunately, you are here this time, I plan to do so, we hired a lot of workers and skilled workers, all of them are replaced by our own workers and technicians in the Soviet Union, I believe that we are all proletarian revolutionaries, all for the cause of all mankind, so you will definitely help us, otherwise you would not have come, right? ”

As he spoke, Yan Xishan held Malenkov's hand tightly and said, "Big brother, don't say anything else, thank you very much, I've long been tired of watching them, when will your people arrive?" Hurry up and help us put it on! ”

Malenkov was stunned and asked, "You want our Soviet skilled workers to support you?" How much do you want? ”

Yan Xishan waved his hand and shouted, "We won't let our big brother suffer, you have food and accommodation here, big brother only needs to help us pay them a salary, we need 30,000 steelworkers, including 5,000 technicians." ”

Malenkov was so frightened by this sentence that his eyes were about to come out, and he shouted loudly, "No! No! Thirty thousand?? What do you think a worker is? Livestock? Where did so many workers come from? Besides, I have given you so many workers, have you used them? ”

Yan Xishan immediately nodded and said, "It's used, it's used, can we build another steel plant." Besides, the steel development of the Chongqing government has not been very good, can we still support them? ”

Malenkov didn't want to talk to Yan Xishan anymore, in his heart, Yan Xishan was sent by the Chinese Red Party to stir up the situation, he viciously glanced at Zhou Guansheng, who didn't know what to do, and said, "Comrade Zhou Guansheng, the source of our red power is the working class, and the development of your workers' power is too slow, this will not work, I think you must rectify it immediately!" ”

Zhou Guansheng said with a smile: "Comrade Malenkov, this statement is based on evidence, you see, in January 1937, our Chinese Red Party could count less than 3,000 workers in its hands, but now? At the beginning of the 40s, the number of workers in factories and workshops in various places reached 50,000, and in the past three years, our worker force has grown more than ten times. ”

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhou Guansheng with a serious look, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Vice Chairman Zhou, do we have so many workers?" ”

Zhou Guansheng said with a voice between his teeth, "How do I know, there are factories open every day, there are wars everywhere, and the guerrillas will set up a workshop today and close tomorrow, this number is what I said casually, do you think he will go to investigate once?" ”

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart when he heard this, this is also, where does Malenkov have time to check this, and use this to attack the Chinese Red Party, not just what the Chinese Red Party says.

Malenkov continued: "Also, the people of these messy countries should be cleaned up as soon as possible, many of these people must be capitalist countries to steal our secrets, and your Chinese Red Party's sense of secrecy must be strengthened!" ....”

Before Malenkov finished speaking, Yan Xishan grabbed his hand again, God knows how Yan Xishan grabbed it accurately, Yan Xishan looked at Zhou Guansheng and the others with a grateful look and said, "Look at it, look at it, what did I say?" Isn't this the attitude of the Red International, Comrade Malenkov, don't worry, I will clean up all the foreign workers in Shanxi within three days, and as soon as your assistance arrives, I will let them go immediately! ”

Malenkov took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "I didn't say that we, the Red International, want to help you workers!" No!!! ”

Yan Xishan shouted loudly, "Did you all hear clearly? Red International did not come to our aid! Those supplies and people are all volunteering! ”

Immediately, someone laughed quietly: "How did you volunteer for this material?" ”

Yan Xishan glared at him and said, "Why can't you volunteer?" Can't the workers carry it with them? ... Even if it's not very reliable to carry a blast furnace with you, can't you let our volunteers carry it separately? What a brain! ”

Malenkov listened to the words of the interpreter, and only felt that his head was dizzy, who called him to come in the name of preparing for the assistance that followed.

Malenkov didn't want to see the steel plant anymore, anyway, he already knew the actual situation at the Taiyuan steel plant, and he was ready to go back immediately to rest and then think about countermeasures.

When Zhou Guansheng heard that Malenkov wanted to go back, he immediately said, "What? Isn't Comrade Malenkov going to the arsenal anymore? Where are our comrades still waiting for you? ”

Saying that, Yan Xishan left under the pretext of going to the toilet, and Malenkov saw that the short and round Yan Xishan was gone, and immediately pulled Zhou Guansheng and said, "Then let's go immediately." ”

Zhou Guansheng looked in the direction of the toilet and said, "Chairman Yan is still in the toilet, let's wait." ”

Malenkov immediately said, "Don't wait, don't wait, you must have been preparing for a long time, your front-line fighters are still waiting for your arsenal to produce weapons, let's wait an hour less, how many weapons will be produced to fight the damn Japanese devils." ”

Zhou Guansheng walked towards the arsenal with Malenkov with a helpless face.

Malenkov looked at the heavily guarded arsenal, nodded and said, "Your garrison is very strong, even anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. ”

Zhou Guansheng smiled and said, "These are all captured by us, do you know? The Emperor of Japan has a nickname for us, the Chief of the Logistics Brigade! ”

Malenkov asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?" ”

Zhou Guansheng said with a smile, "It's very simple, it's about our soldiers' weapons and the equipment, funds, and food we need are captured from the Japanese army, I have a photo here, this is what we took when we went out in 37 years, you see, seven of the ten weapons at that time were big swords and spears, but now, they are all Japanese-style weapons, many people don't understand why we always win wars, and say that we have some advanced weapons, in fact, our weapons are very simple, that is, to mobilize the masses and fight the people's war!" ”

Although Malenkov is also a soldier, but he has never fought a war, like Malenkov, who has not been on the battlefield, but there are some clever people who like to be smart in military affairs, he listened to Zhou Guansheng explaining various guerrilla warfare tactics for him, and only felt like an initiation, especially when Zhou Guansheng introduced the Shanxi Campaign, the Eighth Route Army blocked various checkpoints and then broke the Japanese army, he suddenly felt that there was nothing difficult in fighting a war, as long as I had a large number of people and found the weak point of your troops, I could naturally break through each oneMalenkov, who got the essence of the war, couldn't help but be very satisfied with this trip to China, he knew that he had no military merits in the Soviet Red Party, so it was difficult for him to win that position, but now, it is not difficult for him to brush up some military achievements.

Zhou Guansheng would not have thought that his casual explanation would breed Malenkov's ambitions, and later Hitler knew about it and almost awarded Zhou Guansheng an Iron Cross!

Zhou Guansheng and the others entered the arsenal and talked to the workers as usual, and Zhou Guansheng and Malenkov, accompanied by several leaders of the arsenal, began to inspect.

Malenkov hurriedly looked at the source of the sound and asked Zhou Guansheng, "Where did this sound come from?" ”

Zhou Guansheng said with a flustered face, "It's nothing, probably something exploded." ”

Then, there were bursts of explosions, and Malenkov immediately exclaimed, "No! It's the sound of heavy artillery! Oh, Comrade Zhou Guansheng, can you already produce heavy artillery? Is your technology developing very fast, and I don't know where your equipment and technology come from? ”

Zhou Guansheng shook his head and said, "Where is the heavy artillery, since it is the leader of the red country, then there is nothing to hide, I just hope that Comrade Malenkov can keep it secret for us." ”

Malenkov nodded hurriedly, expectantly coming to a clearing with Zhou Guansheng, only to see that there were many fortresses in the clearing, and they were all targets.

Zhou Guansheng pointed to one of the fortresses that had been blown up and said, "The voice just now should have come from here, you see, it's still smoking, who is the person in charge here?" ”

A man wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army ran over and saluted and said, "Hello chief! The guard artillery has seen the chief, the 107 artillery team is testing weapons, please instruct! ”

Zhou Guansheng pointed at Malenkov and said, "Come, tell our Red International leaders what weapon we used to shoot just now." ”

Malenkov looked at the traces after being bombed and said, "This comrade, I also came out of the army, I'm afraid your weapon is a heavy artillery, right?" ”

When the guard cannon heard this, he smiled and said, "It's really not, it's quite a light cannon, please come with me." ”

Malenkov followed behind the guards in disbelief, and after walking a few steps, he saw a small hillside, behind which was a position, on which cylindrical things were placed diagonally.

Wei Cannon said, "This is what he shot just now, he is called a conscienceless cannon!" Also known as the Flying Thunder Cannon, it can fire a 20-kilogram explosive package and can hit more than 300 meters. ”

Malenkov looked at it, rubbed his eyes again, looked again, and shouted to Zhou Guansheng and Wei Pao, "What is this?" Isn't this just a gasoline barrel? ”

Jiang Cheng, who was hiding behind Zhou Guansheng, couldn't help but laugh, this unconscionable cannon that later showed its might in the Huaihai Campaign, now it is only the happiest of the New Fourth Army, and it is not used less when fighting Yancheng, and the gasoline barrels captured in Yungang are basically given to the New Fourth Army, but I didn't expect to see it here.

Zhou Guansheng asked, "How is this used?" ”

"This is actually a kind of mortar, and the huge explosive bag he fired produced a strong explosive impact, and everywhere he passed, the pillbox, and the people and horses would be blown away." Many of the enemies who were blown down often did not find any wounds on their bodies, but they were bleeding from seven holes, and they were all shocked to death. If you don't believe it, let me set an example. ”

Malenkov immediately said, "Okay, let me see how powerful your light artillery is!" (To be continued.) )
